anyone that trusts PP too much is asking for trouble IMO.... It's entirely possible to use PP and set yourself up so that you're protected in case they try to screw you over.
I agree with all the facts you set forth, but the way you present them sounds too much like blaming the victim.
Not a totally new idea. As far back as 1964, IBM had protection keys in the System/360 mainframes, although with a much coarser definition of components than what you have in mind.
Here's an idea: when two people (same or opposite sex) come to the government and want all the perks and benefits of being "married", call it a "civil union". Let the churches call their unions "marriage"; they'll still have to come to the government to get their "civil union" (like they have to do anyway right now, except that the government calls it a "marriage" too, which is confusing because it isn't the same thing).
That would be my second choice. My first choice would be to continue to call the legal institution marriage, and let the churches come up with a new term for their version. I'd hate to tell my atheist friends that their marriages should be demoted to civil unions.
Churches won't have to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples if it is against their beliefs -- just like they don't have to remarry divorced people if they have doctrines against divorce, or inter-faith couples.
The O.P. is mostly making stuff up. Although there were British and American troops in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk at the end of World War I, most of the non-Bolshevik-controlled parts of Russia were controlled by other factions of the Russian civil war.
They have an email address associated with each phone number. Why can't they send out a reminder 6 months before your number's expiration so you can renew?
No, they don't have your email address if you registered by phone. And even if you did register by the web, I don't think they keep email addresses after confirmation.
Even more scary is the thought that Shawn may have been a replacement for someone else.
I'm afraid you may be right. And for those who doubt that this was a real kidnapping, check into the true story of Steven Stayner at http://www.amazon.com/Know-My-First-Name-Steven/dp /0786011041/ or http://imdb.com/title/tt0097553/. He was kidnapped at age 7, and was finally able to alert the police 7 years later when his kidnapper rounded up the next boy. What I've heard about the current case sounds a lot like this.
Not giving separate area codes to mobile phones in the US was a deliberate decision of the Federal Communications Commission. The purpose was to promote competition between providers. If there were separate area codes for new forms of telephone service, then the former Bell system landline carriers would have the benefit of the familiar area codes while the new companies would be stuck with strabge unfamiliar area codes. Or so the reasoning went.
The regulations already define what counts as an established business relationship. You bought something within the past 18 months or inquired within the past 3 months, and didn't specifically tell them not to call you. See URL:https://www.donotcall.gov/FAQ/FAQConsumers.asp x#ExistingBusiness .
What DIGITAL media lasts longest? My first instinct is to say some type of tape, but tape drives seem to come in and go out of fashion fairly quickly.
Don't count on tape even if you have an old tape drive -- the physical medium can decay. Some of the data from the 1976 Mars Viking mission is lost.

It wasn't until my girlfriend came in and said she was with me and that I wasn't doing it, that I got off. It was all because the next door neighbor girl was jealous of my having a girlfriend.
You're posting on Slashdot, expecting our sympathy for a story that hinges on you having a girlfriend???
Why do telemarketing groups fight something which keeps them from wasting time calling folks who identify themselves as "not interested"?
I have some professional dealings with the telemarketing industry, and I can think of another reason why the telemarketers are nervous about laws like this. Some of these people are not real reliable about updating their databases, and they're worried about being fined $11,000 for each mistake.
(By the way, if you know where I work, I'm not speaking for them.)
Read the article -- they mostly talk about geographic rather than postal applications.
As numerous posters have already pointed out, postal codes are routing, not geography. They specify how to carry a package through the postal service to the destination, not where the destination is located on the Earth's surface.

He's saying that Apple is ruled by horses... or at least a horse's ass.
The movies are ordered online, on a plain old http: rather than https: page. So no, not a sealed envelope.
No mod points today, so I'll just point out that if you had not written "illicit sexual escapades" and "lesbian romps", I wouldn't call you a troll.

I think he misspelled "libertarian".
But the video response link is not disabled. Who wants to be the first to rickroll Microsoft?

Office 2003 has succeeded quite well without a database program that doesn't suck.

Are you going to call Aho and Ullman tech illiterates? Principles of COmpiler Design, 1977 -- the classic "dragon book."
Seriously, I'm curious -- I've never heard your usage of "C convertor" before. What community is it customary in?
Just mod the original article down.
